Podcast search, metadata, and transcripts — from $15/mo.

A clean, structured podcast data API from $15/month. Most comparable podcast data APIs — Taddy, Listen Notes, Podscan — start at $75–200/month. Client-side caching is allowed, there's no attribution logo to display, and transcripts are included in your quota, not billed as a separate add-on. Use it over REST, or out of the box with AI agents via MCP.

Caching allowed. Cache API responses freely on your side — no terms restriction.
No attribution logo. No mandatory “powered by” badge in your UI.
